Synopsis
James Scarlet has devoted many years to the study of tartan both independently and as a close colleague of D.C. Stewart (author of the definitive "The Setts of the Scottish Tartans"). "D.C." bequeathed him all his work on tartans, published and unpublished, together with what he possessed of his father's (D.W. Stewart) work in the field. This book therefore draws upon a continuous line of research reaching back almost 100 years. The author, an experienced weaver and designer of tartans, begins with a critical survey of the popular history of tartans. There are also chapters on tartans as a Highland art form, the intricasies of tartan weaving and commentaries of "The Setts".
